I don't find the design attractive.
IMO, case/dial design is usually the most lacking skill for independent watchmakers

Although I agree with that to a certain extent, I have always been drawn to Kari's aesthetic. I like how all of his pieces are distinctly his style, and are quite recognizable. I have always been a fan of his oversized Breguet hands, and the teardrop lugs he uses. With that said, some of his work tends to be a little over-guilloched for my tastes.

I usually agree with both of your choices...but ima have to pass on this one.

i definitely agree on the case/dial point re: independent makers, and usually, im not a fan of those types of watches. often all kinds of odd bubbles here and there, but there is something about this one i really like.

Availability depends on which one you are talking about, but as gdl said, all of them are within reach.

Just remember there are three versions. The worldwide edition will be the easiest to obtain. There are a few taunting me on chrono24. I am unsure about the availability of the 2011 (black casa fagliano strap) US edition from the boutique, but there is one on TZ right now. You will need to call the boutique for the 2012 (brown casa fagliano strap) limited edition.

Whats the difference with the worldwide edition to the non-worldwide edition? How do I differentiate one from the other?

I checked out Chrono24, I really would prefer buying from a seller in the US (don't want to deal with international shipping and customs) so I guess that is out of the question. I wouldn't mind and actually prefer to buy new if possible too so I guess I have a few phone calls to make.

And to throw a curveball, theres also a white gold and a rouge version of the 1931 (you can also see the hands better on the worldwide reverso on the left)

These were announced at SIHH earlier this year so the wait time will be a bit longer, and I think the Rouge is a boutique exclusive. Not sure about the WG..

of course this is just about 1931 tribute reversos...theres a ton of other reversos out there

Thanks for all the info Cyclon. Appreciate it. Yeah the original plan is actually a Reverso Squadra but when I set my eyes on the 1931 a year ago I just fell in love. I like black faces on watches so this one just seems perfect.

never seen one irl.
from the designs of his i have seen, he does not seem to suffer the above mentioned malady.

;-) Yes, strangely speaking of independents. PSM does not confirm to the above comments in this thread - He's one man out there doing it very differently and original ;-)

I love bespoke watches - strange there isn't more here on SF.

Can't find sales on bespoke watches . Plus, I find that 'MIS' and 'WIS' do not really go hand-in-hand. Look at Will, for example.
